If love hurts, confuses, and drains you—it’s not love. It’s time to plan your exit and reclaim your life. 💪

Host Lisa Urbanski sits down with author and recovery coach Jodi Pavlock to share a clear, compassionate guide to escaping narcissistic relationships—safely and for good. Drawing on Jodi’s 9-year journey, you’ll learn what to do before, during, and after leaving: from no-contact & safety plans to EMDR, gray rock, and rebuilding confidence so you can heal, trust yourself, and thrive. You’ll learn how to:

• 🧭 Spot the cycle: Love-bombing → devaluation → discard (and why it’s not your fault)
• 🛡️ Plan the exit: Safety first—documents, money, timing, support network
• 🚪 Go no-contact (or low-contact): Scripts and boundaries that protect your peace
• 🧠 Heal the nervous system: EMDR, therapy, and trauma-informed self-care

• 💓 Rebuild self-worth: Stop rumination, break trauma bonds, date again—safely
